What is the special significance of the 20-year time frame? It's not more polarized now that it was in 1860. Or 1760. Or 1960.

  Sure... but do you think it really makes sense to compare today to 1760 or 1860?

    When you are saying some social phenomena is "new", yes.

      I never said it was new. I don't see why this makes it matter more or less anyway? It's sort of irrelevant whether we have seen this social phenomenon before. What is relevant is the impact it is having on society now.
